I'm not talking about people suffering from dementia or any of the milder mental illneses, I'm talking about dements as they are described in T2K. "Dement" isn't a very accurate term for the dements as described in, say, Armies of the Night. Those sorts of dements are probably mostly suffering from extreme PTSD and/or have had serious underlying mental illnesses exacerbated by the trauma they have suffered. Some might be pre-war street people/druggies/urban riff-raff who have gone even deeper into anti-sociality as a result of the effects of the war.
My point is that dements strike me as people who are so far gone that conventional pharmaceutical and therapy treatments probably wouldn't help them much, if at all.
